Oh, wow.  I would have either still been in college or have just started
my first "real ISP job" at the time.  

SunHELP and such didn't start up until '96-97, when I was working for
Texas.Net in Austin and had a Sun system by then - and started keeping
bookmarks, useful links, etc.  That eventually turned into a site of its
own, then I added mailing lists... and holy crap, here we are, 17 years
later.
